3 out of 5. David Cronenberg's EASTERN PROMISES is a small but impactful film. The cast is really good together
and direction is quite solid. I especially like the Art Direction and
costumes in this film. Viggo is a badass in this and has an amazingly
shot fight scene. Also Vincent Cassel is loose cannon and adds a lot of
tension throughout. Fun stuff.

3 out of 5. Philip Ridley's THE REFLECTING SKIN is a richly textured piece of filmwork. There's a lot of metaphor
running around in the barren fields of the young Seth Dove. There's a
cruelty and the debauchery of childhood innocence that permeates
throughout and feels right for some reason. The acting is just okay, but
the photography and art direction is really great.
